Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan! Chapter 694 Gu Master

The man found Bai Zihan's attitude utterly ridiculous.

A mere Great Ascension Realm cultivator was actually looking down on a Golden Immortal?

This level of arrogance was far beyond anything he had ever seen.

"Hmph! I'll show you your place!"

The man's aura erupted as he charged toward Bai Zihan.

However, before he could reach him, another figure stepped forward.

Clang!

Bai Ren's fist collided directly with the man's palm.

The terrifying impact shook the entire chamber.

"I already told you."

Bai Ren's eyes were cold.

"If you want to reach our Clan Leader, you have to get through me first!"

The man's expression changed slightly.

He hadn't expected Bai Ren to be this formidable, almost reaching his own strength.

However, this wasn't completely unexpected.

It was already widely known that the Bai Clan possessed two Golden Immortals.

Although many people still regarded that information as nothing more than a rumor, the man had naturally prepared for the possibility.

"Hmph! Do you think I came here without making any preparations?"

He suddenly raised his hand.

A sharp whistle echoed through the chamber.

Whoosh!

Two figures suddenly appeared behind him.

The moment Bai Zihan and the others saw them, their expressions changed slightly.

The two figures looked vaguely human.

But their bodies were pale and withered, resembling corpses that had been given life.

Their eyes were dull.

Their skin was dry and lifeless yet terrifying energy surged from within their bodies.

They immediately charged toward the Bai Clan's forces.

"What is this?"

Bai Ren's expression became solemn.

The strange existence before him looked human, but its aura was completely different from that of an ordinary cultivator.

It didn't possess the vitality of a living person yet its strength was extraordinary.

At the same time, the other corpse-like figure was intercepted by the three Earth Immortals.

Boom!

A terrifying battle instantly erupted.

The man looked toward Bai Zihan and laughed.

"Hehe… Bai Zihan, now who can save you?"

A shaken voice suddenly echoed within Bai Zihan's mind.

(H-How can they still exist?)

It was Immortal Emperor Feilian.

Bai Zihan could clearly hear the immense shock in her voice.

He immediately asked,

"You know what this is?"

Empress Feilian remained silent for several moments.

Then she slowly spoke.

"He's probably a Gu Master."

Bai Zihan's expression changed slightly.

"A Gu Master?"

"Yes!"

Empress Feilian's tone was solemn.

"Those two things should be corpses controlled by him. To control Golden Immortal corpses to this extent, he must be an extremely powerful Gu Master."

Bai Zihan fell silent.

Considering all the novels he had read in his previous life, he immediately understood what Feilian meant.

However, one thing still confused him.

Why was Feilian so shaken by their existence?

"Are they really that strong?"

Empress Feilian paused.

"They themselves aren't necessarily that powerful but that's not the frightening part."

"As long as they are given enough time and can obtain enough powerful corpses, their strength can continue to increase."

"There's practically no limit."

Empress Feilian's voice grew colder.

"And that's still not the worst part. The worst part is that they will do anything to obtain suitable corpses."

"They don't hesitate to slaughter millions of living beings. The more chaos and death they create, the more they thrive."

"They love sowing chaos. They love starting wars. Because every war means countless deaths."

"And every death provides them with more corpses to use."

Bai Zihan's eyes narrowed.

"They're even more hateful than Demonic Cultivators!"

Empress Feilian's voice carried unmistakable hatred.

For Feilian to say that,one should understand just how much she hates them.

Bai Zihan had never heard Feilian speak with such hatred before.

It seemed that her hatred toward Gu Masters ran far deeper than he had imagined.

Empress Feilian's voice became solemn.

"No matter what, you must kill him."

Bai Zihan's expression turned cold.

"Of course!"

He didn't need Feilian to remind him.

The man was already his enemy.

There was no way he would simply let him leave.

However, before killing him, Bai Zihan still wanted to obtain information about the so-called Lord.

That mysterious existence is the one who is clearly after Bai Xueqing.

Meanwhile, the man stared at Bai Zihan.

His expression gradually became ugly.

From the beginning until now, Bai Zihan had remained completely calm despite having thought to corner him.

There was no fear. Not even the slightest trace of concern.

Rather from the start when he thought he had cornered him, Bai Zihan didn't seem to pay attention to him at all.

The man couldn't tolerate it any longer.

"Bai Zihan!"

His voice exploded with fury.

"You think ignoring me can change your situation? Then think again!"

The man suddenly moved.

Whoosh!

His figure transformed into a blur as he rushed directly toward Bai Zihan.

There was no one left to protect him.

The three Earth Immortals were already completely occupied by one Golden Immortal Corpse.

As for Bai Ren, he was desperately trying to break away from his opponent.

However, the Golden Immortal fighting him was extremely strange.

Bai Ren had tried several times to deceive it and shake it off, but instead of retreating when struck, the corpse would simply endure the attack and continue pursuing him.

It seemed completely indifferent to its own injuries.

Its only objective was to keep Bai Ren occupied.

Bai Ren's expression became increasingly anxious.

He knew exactly what the man was planning.

"Bai Zihan!"

He wanted to rush over and protect Bai Zihan.

But there was nothing he could do.

The enemy in front of him was simply too persistent.

Even when Bai Ren deliberately exposed an opening, trying to lure it away, the enemy didn't fall for the trick.

It simply endured his attack and continued fighting. It was as though it were hell-bent on keeping him here regardless of the cost.

"Damn it!"

Bai Ren cursed inwardly.

They had never expected there to be three Golden Immortals here.

One was the mysterious man himself.

And the other two were these terrifying corpse beings.

"We should have brought more people!"

Bai Ren gritted his teeth.

If they had brought even one more Golden Immortal, the situation would have been completely different.

He couldn't help regretting his earlier decision.

He had even given the Saint-Grade Sword to Bai Chu because he had believed that the opponents waiting at the Shen Clan would be far more powerful.

Who could have imagined that the real danger would be hidden here?

Meanwhile—

The mysterious man had already reached Bai Zihan.

His eyes were filled with killing intent.

"Hehe… Let's see how arrogant you can remain now."

A voice suddenly echoed within Bai Zihan's mind.

"Do you need my help?"

It was Empress Feilian.

Bai Zihan shook his head.

"No!"

His gaze remained fixed on the man before him.

"I want to try fighting him myself."

That answer was only half the truth.

Bai Zihan genuinely wanted to see just how powerful the man who is Gu Master was.

But more importantly, he didn't want Feilian to exhaust herself and fall unconscious again because of him.

He couldn't afford to let that happen a second time.

Bai Zihan took a slow breath.

"Heaven's Mandate Reversal!"

Boom!

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body.

His cultivation, which had originally been at the Late Great Ascension Realm, surged violently.

Late Great Ascension.

Peak Great Ascension.

Immortal Ascension!

In an instant, Bai Zihan's cultivation had risen all the way to the Peak Immortal Ascension Realm.

The man's expression froze.

For a moment, shock appeared in his eyes. But it quickly disappeared.

"A little trick!"

He sneered.

"Do you really think that raising your cultivation to the Immortal Ascension Realm will allow you to fight me?"

Boom!

The man's figure flashed.

His palm struck toward Bai Zihan with terrifying force.

Yet—

Bang!

Bai Zihan raised his hand and blocked the attack with astonishing ease.

The man's expression changed.

"What?!"

He immediately increased his strength yet Bai Zihan remained completely unmoved.

"NO WAY!"

The man's eyes widened.

It was a genuine surprise.

Whether Great Ascension Realm or Immortal Ascension Realm, to him, it made a very little difference yet Bai Zihan whose cultivation was only at Immortal Ascension managed to stop his attack.

Bai Zihan looked at him calmly.

"Hmph! Only this much?"

A faint trace of disappointment appeared in his eyes.

"Looks like Gu Masters aren't much stronger than ordinary cultivators after all."

Bai Zihan's thoughts quickly turned.

After exchanging blows with him, Bai Zihan had already reached a rough conclusion.

Without those corpse beings, this Gu Master was actually weaker than an ordinary Golden Immortal.

At least compared to Bai Ren, the difference was obvious.

Of course, once he controlled those Golden Immortal corpses, his combat strength increased dramatically.

But without them—

He was merely an average Golden Immortal, or perhaps even slightly weaker.

And that was enough for Bai Zihan to understand something important.

Gu Masters themselves weren't necessarily terrifying.

Their true strength came from the corpses and other methods they controlled.

They, themselves, were weaker than other cultivators!
